3:00 PM

Shift can be Caltrops and that's really all I need.

With this character anyway.

Invader Skoodge

@OrigamiRobot I put dodge on mouse3.

Scorpion Wire is a lot of fun in WvW

Yanking enemies off of castle walls :D

@InvaderSkoodge I'd rather scroll. I can scroll even in a panic.

@InvaderSkoodge You should get one of those crazy five-digit keyboards for people with RSI

Maybe they even make for half-decent quasi-gamepads!

Google is failing me

Q: What factors affect the speed that instinct goes down? If there are more NPCs that notice you go past them, will it go down faster?

What factors affect the speed that instinct goes down when used to go past NPCs dressed in the same clothes? If there are more NPCs that notice you go past them, will it go down faster?

Q: Whats the Point of Astrid's Map?

Whats the point of Astrid's Map in the Falkreath Dark Brotherhood sanctuary? There are other maps that follow the progress of the civil war through flags, but all Astrid's does is randomly get daggers stabbed into it. Is there anything method to her map stabby madness?

Q: Do disguises that cover your head or your face make you less likely or be less quickly detected?

I asked this question, because in previous Hitman games, NPCs could be on the lookout for a bald man (depending on certain player actions), making 47 more likely to be detected if he's wearing clothes that expose his head, even if disguised. I'm wondering if Hitman: Absolution has the same game m...

@badp razerzone.com/gaming-keyboards-keypads/razer-nostromo

I am so sorry in advance for ever linking a razer product

@pixel no, it was like five holes, one for each finger. Like, raise the ring finger for A, lower it for B, move it to the left for C, move it to the right for D, press for E.

Repeat that for all fingers

Although that's just 25 keys and you have to 26 letters so clearly I'm missing something.

Alas Google isn't helping

@OrigamiRobot This discussion explains why I prefer a mouse with 5+ buttons. You know, the ones you hate so much?

@Fluttershy I have avoided saying this so obviously

:p

Also, map 6-0 to zxcvb, etc...

@pixel I use a Razer product. =(

@Fluttershy I had two lycosas, they both died on me

very quick deaths too

<1 month each

3:08 PM

I honestly have never used a mouse with 4+ buttons. Not because of choice, but because I'm cheap sometimes

and tbh, qpad mk85 is a far nicer keyboard to type on

@pixel I had two Logitech G9xes, and both of those died very quickly... So I decided to try a Razer.

2 hours ago, by OrigamiRobot

I hate extra buttons on mice. I have an extra button on each side of my mouse, but they are completely useless

@badp I use a cyborg rat 7 at work

@Fluttershy must be a luck thing

@Fluttershy I will never hit any of those keys.

3:10 PM

I always use cyborg mice, and I swear by my latest keyboard

@pixel At work?

@OrigamiRobot Then your complaints hold no weight. <_< The easy solution to your problem is right there and you ignore it.

@SaintWacko yes, as in, that place you go after waking up at some ungodly hour in the morning to slave away as somebody else's bitch for 8 1/2 hours before going home to do things that you want to do

Also, @OrigamiRobot Do you really like the jumping puzzles?

I think jumping puzzles are fun

3:11 PM

@Fluttershy It's not a solution for me.

You know what you need, @OrigamiRobot? Voice activation.

@badp Thuumic was awesome

@pixel I love the jumping puzzles. I was just surprised that @OrigamiRobot said he did. Also... Wait... GIR again?

@Fluttershy I was mainly just yelling. I've only done one.

@OrigamiRobot use an external macro application, change your entire control scheme into "start attack" and "stop attack"

3:13 PM

@OrigamiRobot Which one?

@Fluttershy shrug

@OrigamiRobot some of the vistas would probably classify as a jumping puzzle, even without getting an achievement for them

@pixel That doesn't make any sense.

@OrigamiRobot Which zone?

I have ~4-5 achievements for jumping so far though

3:13 PM

@pixel THAT FUCKING WALL

@OrigamiRobot sure it does, you write a macro that executes your rotation perfectly, including all cooldowns

52 secs ago, by OrigamiRobot

@Fluttershy shrug

@pixel Right, but a RAT7 for work?

@OrigamiRobot You're hopeless. >_>

@SaintWacko its my 'spare mouse'

3:14 PM

@pixel That doesn't make any sense.

and tbh, you don't know me

I play WoW at work

@pixel That's boring, though

played*

I will soon be playing GW2 at work

@pixel Oh, okay. That makes sense, then

once I fix my routing issue

3:15 PM

In other news, the Timber and Stone beta should go live today!

2

@Fluttershy Whaaaaat

@OrigamiRobot you have obviously never used a macro to automate a mind destroyingly boring task

like capping intellect in Neocron

or bloodsail admiral rep in WoW

@pixel Or not playing mindless boring MMOs.

@fbueckert morning to you too

@pixel I already said good morning. :P

3:16 PM

@pixel I have, it's just that if I could macro it, I wouldn't even have this problem. If it's something my brain can automate, I'm good.

@fbueckert I didn't see it, it doesn't count

@OrigamiRobot practice typing 12345zxc12345zxc12345 all day

@pixel That's not how it works. There is no macro to make.

@OrigamiRobot you know what, I'm going to work out a macro that allows me to gain 100% uptime on all of my abilities tonight

and then I can actually fall asleep while killing stuff

I'm glad you can do that for your class.

Everything I do is situational.

@OrigamiRobot I've heard that before

3:22 PM

@pixel Not my fault you can't follow multiple threads at once. :P

@fbueckert la la la does not count

58 mins ago, by fbueckert

Good morning, Bridge

Done and done.

@Fluttershy Timber and Stone... Tim... Stone... TIM STONE.

@GraceNote gasp

So it's going to be about maneuvering on a red-white triangle fractal plane of madness

3:28 PM

@GraceNote you're quick, it took me weeks to work out what all the fuss about Gray Snote was

@pixel ... you're British!

@badp I find your generalising against the British offensive

I think he was implying that you would've gotten it if it was Grey Snote.

oh I give up, I was going to find a picture of the queen of hearts

but I ran out of motivation before google images loaded

Yeah, generalizing that most British people can speak English is kind of not offensive

3:30 PM

@badp generalising*

@Fluttershy Never heard of it. Sounds like some sort of drug lord.

@pixel zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

@OrigamiRobot zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

@pixel By virtue of being Italian I get to switch at random between all possible typing standards

@Wipqozn It looks pretty neat.

3:31 PM

Stop copys me

@GnomeSlice You look pretty neat.

@pixel ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

BOOM

@OrigamiRobot I didn't copy, your string was longer in length

@SaintWacko I see what you did there.

@GnomeSlice exploded? :p

3:32 PM

@pixel There's a joke in there, but I am a gentleman.

(I just made that up, but I'll antagonise you for it until the color of my face is blue, or not.)

@OrigamiRobot you need rebooting, you're broken

@pixel No, he was hacked, remember?

YOU REPROGRAMMED ME

@badp Funny enough, I'm the sort of person who'd do the reverse of that arrangement.

3:32 PM

@badp oh I stopped reading after "By virtue of..."

@OrigamiRobot diskpart

sob that robot made of folded paper was so nice until somebody removed his primary partition cry it'll never be the same again boohoo

(That's all I came up with when trying to use different spelling standards in the same sentence. I guess I should either deepen my understanding or just give up completely.)

yo mamma

@OrigamiRobot hey GhettoBot

I wonder if there's a part of a folding process that can be referred to as a partition.

Now I'm made of folded hunna dolla bills yall

Oh god, what am I doing with my simulated life? T_T

3:35 PM

@OrigamiRobot MY BRAIN... MY BRAIN... it's like thousands of bees swarming around in side of my head noooooooooooooo.................

@GraceNote the result. Well, the set of flat faces thereof.

@pixel You started this.

@OrigamiRobot I suggest a good nice reset

@badp I did that, it made him worse

Welcome, new and improved life of @OrigamiRobot!

Q: Where and how to forage the Goo in Ryzom?

In Saga of Ryzom in the starting area (ruins of Silan), there is a series of quests given by Karavan faction, titled “The Study of the Goo” where one is supposed to either loot phials of goo from corrupted animals, or forage (mine) it. Looting is easy enough, but how does one forage for it? I had...

I guess he's running on Windows and needs to reboot more than once.

LITTLE BUNNY FOO FOO HOPPIN THROUGH THE FOREST SCOOPIN UP THE FIELD MICE AND BOPPIN EM ON THE HEAD

3

@OrigamiRobot Little bunny Foo Foo, I don't want to see you hopping through the forest scooping up field mice and bopping them on the head...

Aww! He's so happy!

do I need to detonate the EMP again?

you guys know that runs up the electricity bill like crazy

3:39 PM

@agent86 Yes.

@OrigamiRobot I'll give you three chances, and if you don't behave, I will turn you into a goon!

Anything to get the robot back to normal.

@OrigamiRobot i THINK HE'S REBOOTED INTO SOME SORT OF tINY tINA PERSONA

DONT TELL ME WHAT TO DO YOU'RE NOT MY REAL MOM

Wups, Hell

3:39 PM

@SaintWacko That's the best persona

Now to find him some badonkadonks.

I need to remember to turn caps lock off when I finish writing in hex

@fbueckert YOU ALL WANTED ME TO BE GIR AGAIN

sigh

aw. He's no longer happy anymore

@agent86 you are cleared for detonation

@OrigamiRobot I WAS THE TURKEY ALLLL ALOOOOOOOONGGGGGGG

3:40 PM

@OrigamiRobot I wanted something slightly more sane. This, this is not sane.

meeeeeeeee... the turkey!

EMP ready for detonation.

mashes the "EMP all robots" button on the "Weapons" panel

@fbueckert You don't know GIR very well.

@badp Is it really a good idea to try to use explosives against a Tiny Tina?

3:41 PM

@agent86 You missed and hit @pixel instead. Dammit!

@agent86 Oh, I left that at home

I can't see that ending well

@OrigamiRobot is under my protection, if you want to fry him you're going to have to come through me first!

@OrigamiRobot what the snap snippity snap. You're gir again!

@OrigamiRobot I miss you, cupcake :'(

3:42 PM

I missed Gir.

@SaintWacko What? Tiny Tina just wants badonkadonks as toys!

@Wipqozn SAMMMMMMMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICH

@agent86 Robot-specific? Fancy.

user image

@badp well, too bad. We have to wait for it to charge again now. I told you guys not to cheap out on the capacitors, but did anyone listen to me? NOOOOO

3:42 PM

Image~ not~ found~

I wasn't aware you were supposed to tilde-drag/tilde-sing every word

"we can use that extra money to buy the expensive coffee" you said

@Wipqozn I miss you, alot.

Less supposed to~ more when you want to~

WELL LOOK WHAT HAPPENED

3:43 PM

@agent86 We used up all the capacitors giving our squids the ability to perform charge attacks.

@agent86 To be fair, expensive coffee is much better than the sludge most places serve.

@OrigamiRobot Perhaps I should switch back to my alot then.

And it's not like we NEED the EMP on a regular basis.

@GraceNote charge attacks are certainly electrifying.

@fbueckert I think @badp just embezzled it, tbqh

@agent86 He could have.

I don't recall actually having any of the good coffee.

3:44 PM

@GraceNote @spugsley would approve.

@agent86 didn't stop the placebo effect from making @fbueckert think it was high quality coffee

If I embezzled anything, it was the good coffee.

I can't remember if they changed that name in the most recent translation of Ika-chan.

Sidenote for Mr. @agent86: How's Pharaoh treating you? Build any pyramids yet?

Hey it's @AnnaLear and her cats! YAY CATS!

3:45 PM

@OrigamiRobot @AnnaLear and her human*

Sorry, @Anna. The robot just rebooted and its truth tables are all messed up

@badp Excuses, excuses... I told you to keep an eye on his maintenance cycle.

@fbueckert I haven't been back recently. I've sadly been fighting for every minute of sleep I can get :(

@AnnaLear Well, guess why I rebooted it?

It was that moment of the maintenance cycle.

when last I left my egyptian colony, they were being murdered by rampaging barbarians and laid low with malaria, despite my constant attempts at keeping them healthy.

3:47 PM

@badp Also, it had gone insane

@AnnaLear its my fault, I gave him food after midnight, and let him get wet, all while he was under a bright light

I'm so sorry

It could be worse. I could be red GIR. DO YOU WANT ME TO BE RED GIR?!?!!??!

@OrigamiRobot You are no commander; you are a threat to the mission! Your methods are stupid! Your progress has been stupid! Your intelligence is stupid! For the sake of the mission, you must be terminated!

@pixel I have a clip of this somewhere in the transcript.

@agent86 Pointy sticks for the first problem, Apothecarys for the second.

3:49 PM

@OrigamiRobot its from gir goes crazy and stuff

@pixel Well, there's your problem. Who feeds a robot? Really now.

And depending on how you build your cities, most often malaria and disease can be ignored, because it hits your slums.

@fbueckert I have like a billion of these. probably half my population now is engaged in production of mosquito repellent :P

@AnnaLear he eats waffles

waffles with soap in 'em

@OrigamiRobot D:\Videos\Cartoons\Invader Zim\volume 03 disc 05\invader.zim.[5x01].gir.goes.crazy.and.stuff.avi

3:51 PM

transfers to work

> insert rhyming of 'foo foo' and 'poo poo'.

I know it was in response to @InvaderSkoodge saying something was stupid, but that doesn't really narrow things down.

@OrigamiRobot lol

he says stupid way too much
